It must be one of the voices, those inhabitants of his mind. Right? Jules bit his lip. They're taking over his head, one mental space at a time. Certainly -

Footsteps echoed dully from behind the door that led to the office. Jules shifted from his chair, ready to rise should the person enter. Help. Help is coming. Then those voices won't stand a chance.
